The record setting snow fall for Boston and parts of Massachusetts resulted in a request by the Republican Governor Baker to ask the United States of America to pay for snow removal. Snow has been happening in Boston for many years, but because of budget cuts and poor planning to get elected leaders... $400 million has been requested to pay for snow removal efforts in Massachusetts.

I remember G W Bush telling the American people that God told him to invade Iraq but have not heard a word of this since. What if someone in congress had said that God told him the opposite, who's God would win???

We have been talking about gay discrimination but what about doctors who refuse to write contraception prescription, pharmacists who refuse to sell Plan B or contracptive devices and pills. This has far reaching consequences.

He gave aid and comfort to the poor, the sick and the weak. He spoke out against greed, violence and war. He taught us that peace, love, forgiveness and tolerance were the way of god. He told us that we must take care of those who are less fortunate. Who was this radical liberal who died for his cause? He was a man called Jesus Christ.

On March 25, 2015, former editor of the Waukesha Freeman and conservative Pete Kennedy published an opinion piece in the paper urging Wisconsin conservatives to not only reject Scott Walker, but to hold him responsible for the damage he has done to the state.

How religious is America? What would be your best guess? According to a survey taken in August of 2014 on behalf of the Religion News Service, America is in the midst of a "great decline" among the mainstream churches. In 1994, 94% of those who attended church identified with that church. Today, that is about 85%. Church membership is down from 69% ten years ago to approximately 59%. Speaking of church attendance, that's down to about 53% in 2014 compared to 62% in 1994.

Topeka, Kansas police have instituted an authoritarian policy of requiring that all citizens involved in traffic stops must pull over and immediately put their hands up in the air in the "I surrender pose" no matter the severity of the alleged infraction. The police spokesperson was quoted while speaking to a network Topeka affiliate the following statement: "We have to treat everyone as being potentially dangerous no matter who they are".

The Republicans are still trying to conceal their bigotry, this time (again) calling it Religious Freedom. What a joke they are… thinking people are so stupid that they could slip this act of discrimination by them without any objections. The only ones who believe this chicanery to be a righteous sign of religious freedom, are the diehards on the Far Fringe Right-wing side of sanity.

Anyone else can tell this is an odious and hateful law that reaches so far back in time, it mimics the days when tolerance, was a mark of weakness.

This from the Isthmus weekly news magazine: (note the modifications to the program amount to "spending state dollars to forfeit federal money" and "every $5 in SNAP assistance generates $9 in economic activity")

In the biblical story of the loaves and the fishes, Jesus fed the multitude simply because they were hungry. That was naive, it seems, as we are now learning from a Baptist minister’s son, Gov. Scott Walker.

One of the really weird ironies of politics these days is the huge divergence between what the American people actually want and what the radical right-wingers in Washington actually do. You won’t hear this on Fox So-Called News, but right now the American people are as progressive as they ever have been.
